( 1 j The operations of the' army, are la a measure lost sight of for the present, and the public generally are lamenting; the sad, and dreadful accident, which recently took place at City Point. Every day something additional is received, but nothing to indi- cate'th cause of the accident. Perhapa it never, will.be known, as all who were engaged on the boats were either killed by the . explosion,, or" drowned, in ihe river. Upwards of thirty sacks of arms, heads and limbs, have beeft. reported, a9 . picked i-p, besides se veraL barrels of human fragments, from which no one can be identified. From persons who visited the scene shortly after it occu reJ, we learn that it was the most horror-fying spectacle ever witnessed on this or-anv other' continent. The exact number of killed and wounded has not yet been ascertained, but it is thought sixty or seventy were killed, and near one hundred waunded. A portion of. a keel of , one of the boats, was thrown up on an embank ment, thirty feet high, and; is one of the principal objects of attention, to all, who have visited the scene. .'.It was a fortunate thing for the army, that they were . on a hi"h e!evation and , soma distance . from where the accident occurred; for had they been quite near, according to reports, one half of them would have been destroyed. GRAXT AXd fciiE .COMPARED. ,,Aa interesting 'cqmparisbn of Grant and Lee as commander, appears in ihe New York - Timet, from the. pen of PrafCssor MahaD, cf Wesi Point, of whom both were pupils. Wt quote the most important part of the artfele: ., - , . . , General Lee is rlow advancing in bis fifty-fifth year. He was graduated at the Military Academy 'in in his twenty-fourth Jar, and although second on the rail of merit in ha class, tie maae no maru in if, nor did he leave any tradition of abil- j ity behori him, HUe Mason, he was graduated at the head of the class, and Buckingham, who was lower down. Aa an officer of engineers he has left nouiing that can be pointed to as denoting other than mere ordinary ability. No one ever thought of quoting him aa an aumoriiy in ins corps, as they would Totteu, Thayer, Deiafield, Bar nard, and others.. . v Soon after the Mexican war, General Lee was sent as Superintendent to the Military Academy, in which capacity he served for about three yean. His administration of the institution was respectaUe and nothing more. : He resigned his po i-tion in the academy, and his commission as an engineer officer, in 1S35, to accept that of Lieutenant Colonel of one of the new cavalrv rejiments organised by Jefferson Davis, then Secretary of War. Placed iu command of troops for the first time during his military career, his essay was generally spoken of as a failure, showu in the I want of soldierly qualities for command. Subseouentlv to this he spent most of his time at Arlington, on a protracted leave of The Late PeaceNegotiatioas-Stato-ment of Mr. Gilmore. ; , Mr. -'Edmund Kirke" Gilmore, deliver, ed a lecture at Pawtucket, R. I., on Wed-nesday of last week, in the course of which he gave an account of his recent visit la Richmond, as follows: , I went to Richmond with the Rev.

( 1 j The operations of the' army, are la a measure lost sight of for the present, and the public generally are lamenting; the sad, and dreadful accident, which recently took place at City Point. Every day something additional is received, but nothing to indi- cate'th cause of the accident. Perhapa it never, will.be known, as all who were engaged on the boats were either killed by the . explosion,, or" drowned, in ihe river. Upwards of thirty sacks of arms, heads and limbs, have beeft. reported, a9 . picked i-p, besides se veraL barrels of human fragments, from which no one can be identified. From persons who visited the scene shortly after it occu reJ, we learn that it was the most horror-fying spectacle ever witnessed on this or-anv other' continent. The exact number of killed and wounded has not yet been ascertained, but it is thought sixty or seventy were killed, and near one hundred waunded. A portion of. a keel of , one of the boats, was thrown up on an embank ment, thirty feet high, and; is one of the principal objects of attention, to all, who have visited the scene. .'.It was a fortunate thing for the army, that they were . on a hi"h e!evation and , soma distance . from where the accident occurred; for had they been quite near, according to reports, one half of them would have been destroyed. GRAXT AXd fciiE .COMPARED. ,,Aa interesting 'cqmparisbn of Grant and Lee as commander, appears in ihe New York - Timet, from the. pen of PrafCssor MahaD, cf Wesi Point, of whom both were pupils. Wt quote the most important part of the artfele: ., - , . . , General Lee is rlow advancing in bis fifty-fifth year. He was graduated at the Military Academy 'in in his twenty-fourth Jar, and although second on the rail of merit in ha class, tie maae no maru in if, nor did he leave any tradition of abil- j ity behori him, HUe Mason, he was graduated at the head of the class, and Buckingham, who was lower down. Aa an officer of engineers he has left nouiing that can be pointed to as denoting other than mere ordinary ability. No one ever thought of quoting him aa an aumoriiy in ins corps, as they would Totteu, Thayer, Deiafield, Bar nard, and others.. . v Soon after the Mexican war, General Lee was sent as Superintendent to the Military Academy, in which capacity he served for about three yean. His administration of the institution was respectaUe and nothing more. : He resigned his po i-tion in the academy, and his commission as an engineer officer, in 1S35, to accept that of Lieutenant Colonel of one of the new cavalrv rejiments organised by Jefferson Davis, then Secretary of War. Placed iu command of troops for the first time during his military career, his essay was generally spoken of as a failure, showu in the I want of soldierly qualities for command. Subseouentlv to this he spent most of his time at Arlington, on a protracted leave of The Late PeaceNegotiatioas-Stato-ment of Mr. Gilmore. ; , Mr. -'Edmund Kirke" Gilmore, deliver, ed a lecture at Pawtucket, R. I., on Wed-nesday of last week, in the course of which he gave an account of his recent visit la Richmond, as follows: , I went to Richmond with the Rev. Colonel Jaquess, and went with the hope of making negotiations which might result ia peaco.
